Parramat Stadium. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the home of Western Sydney Wanderers, which was bid to host the 2015 Asian Cup, but was eventually brushed down due to substandard facilities.

Li came here to watch the first leg of the AFC Champions League quarter-finals, Evergrande and Western Sydney Wanderers.

In the previous life, this game caused a huge controversy, and in the end Evergrande lost 0-1, although they returned to the home home to win 2-1 against Western Sydney Wanderers, but they were still eliminated with the disadvantage of fewer away goals.

It stands to reason that such a game is nothing to look at, but in view of what happened in the World Cup in Brazil, Li Guo is less and less sure about the continuity of history, how many things will change?

Li Guo also has a purpose in this game, that is, to inspect the international players, there are still many Chinese internationals in Evergrande, Zeng Cheng, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linpeng, Huang Bowen, Liao Lisheng, Gao Lin, Zheng Zhi.

In particular, a marginal international player like Gao Lin will work harder to prove himself, and the AFC Champions League is the best stage, and in an interview before the game, Gao Lin expressed his desire to return to the national team.

Missing the World Cup in Brazil is Gao Lin's biggest regret, but in the current situation, he is indeed a little worse than the other three strikers.

For Li Guo, there are more and more unknown things, which on the one hand makes Li Guo frightened, and on the other hand, Li Guo is excited, so what will happen in 2018?

Li Guo invited Bob to watch the game with him, but Bob initially refused because he preferred rugby.

"Li Guo, I really don't have any interest in football."

"Is this good, as compensation, how about I watch a rugby game with you next time?"

"Hehe, I'm not strong."

"What are you Australians doing, you're going to have the Asian Cup next year, and the football atmosphere is still so weak."

"In Australia, rugby is like your Chinese table tennis, what do you say? Think for yourself. ”

Li Guo almost lost to Bob, and it seems that the only person who can arouse Bob's interest can only be Brother Kong Fang.

"Well, I can give you an additional tour guide fee, what do you think?"

"Haha, there's no need, I don't love money as much as you think, okay, stop talking, the game is about to start."

Founded in 2012, Western Sydney Wanderers are standard rookies and are considered to be the most rookie in the top 8, and in their previous lives, many people couldn't understand why such a rookie eventually eliminated the defending AFC Champions League champions.

Li Guo didn't know either, but Li Hou watched the Asian Cup and felt that he had vaguely found the answer, that is, the body!

Especially in the final against South Korea, in fact, Australia does not have that much advantage, and the stars are not even as good as South Korea, at least South Korea has players like Son Heung-min and Ji Chengyong who play in Europe.

But the final winner is Australia, the whole game, the physical advantage of the Australians is too obvious, I have to say that there is a trend of returning to domineering football in world football, which is also related to Spain's failure in the World Cup in Brazil, and the football circle is no longer superstitious that technology can solve everything.

After the start of the game, Evergrande's advantage on the field is still relatively obvious, Evergrande is an international player plus Brazilian foreign aid base, although the ball possession time is more, and the number of times to attack the opponent's 30-meter area is also a lot, but in front of the Western Sydney Wanderers' "masters" defense, Evergrande has few absolute opportunities.

Don't think that the Western Sydney Wanderers players are just tough, they are actually quite weird, as long as there is a physical confrontation, they will immediately roll in the end, just like suffering Dou E's injustice, Gao Lin received a yellow card in the first half because of the opponent's frame-up.

"It seems that Busquets's mastery has been popularized, and now it is standard to fall to the ground when he touches it, and cover his face when he falls to the ground," Li Guo thought to himself.

The first half ended in an uneventful 0-0 and Bob said: "That's why I don't like football, you know, if it was rugby, the two sides would have scored a goal and even fought. ”

Here I want to talk about the difference between the rules of rugby, although it is also called football, but almost every game of rugby is to see blood, breaking the nose, breaking the ribs or something is commonplace, Li Guo doesn't know how these players survived.

"Don't you think football is civilized? At least you won't bleed when you play football. ”

"Haha, so it's not interesting, what is football called if you don't fight."

Li Guo's three views were shocked, and it seemed that he was rare and strange, "Rude, no quality." ”

After the start of the second half, the situation changed abruptly, and the Western Sydney Wanderers, who were all cowering in their own half, suddenly pressed and frantically surrounded the front.

"It turned out to be a tactic, save enough physical energy to go out in the second half, good," Li Guo thought, in comparison, Evergrande's head coach Lippi seemed a little dull, and his psychological preparation was insufficient, thinking that it was a safe ball, but he couldn't score the goal for a long time, and the whole team was anxious.

Generally, there is a criterion for this kind of two-legged knockout match, that is, away goals, 1-1 is heaven, 0-0 is hell, because the former has away goals.

In order to get an away goal, Evergrande went out of their way, but in the case of an unbalanced mentality, Western Sydney Wanderers seized a chance and was counter-attacked by striker Juric.

"It's a goal, it's finally a goal," Bob shouted, "I'm going to fall asleep if I don't score again." "For Li Guo, of course, I am unhappy, although I have watched this game once, but I feel different when I look at it at the scene, and there are Australian friends by my side.

But the unexpected happened, 5 minutes later, Gao Lin received a cross from Ai Shen in the penalty area and hit the goal, the ball was smashed into the goal of Western Sydney Wanderers, and the score equalized!

At this time, Li Guo jumped up and shouted in his mouth: "It's different, it's different!" ”

Bob didn't understand, he didn't understand why Li Guo was so happy, didn't he just equalize and didn't win? That's because he doesn't know the value of away goals.

After Gao Lin scored, the opponent immediately became anxious and pressed more fiercely, and now it is the Western Sydney Wanderers who are at a disadvantage.

In stoppage time, Elkeson counter-attacked and scored another goal as Evergrande won 2-1 away at Western Sydney Wanderers.

This should be a normal result and an expected result from the outside world, but it is unusual for Li Guo, and history has changed once again.

"Congratulations, your team won," Bob said.

"Haha, I promised you, watch a game of rugby with you, I will do what I say, I will pay for the tickets you buy."

Bob once again showed an expression of disbelief, "Li Guo, do you think that the tickets for the rugby game are meant to be bought?" (To be continued.) )
